Phone rings.... Me: Hello? Misty: It's me. I just got the toll bill. What year is my Bonneville? Me: 1996 Misty: 1996? You mean my car is 17-years-old?? I thought it was a mistake. Me: Um...yes, it's17 years old... Misty: Well that's too old! I had no idea it was that old. I drive to Dallas with OUR kids in that car. I need a newer car! Me: Honey it's in great shape and only has 85K miles on it. Half the 5-year-old cars on the road today have more miles on them. Misty: But they are not 17-years-old!! Me: The Denali has 130K miles on it. Do you trust it more? Misty: Of course, it's nearly new! Me: It's 12 years old Honey Misty: It is? Me: Yes, it's a 2001 Misty: Well it least it was made in the 2000's! :banghead3::banghead3::banghead3::banghead3::banghead3::banghead3::banghead3:
Hurry call Misty back and tell her it was a typogiraffical error. Her car is only 7 years old, not 17.
WARNING. Frying pans can be hazarous to a man's health! And I've seen pictures of Misty with a big knife. Sent by TedyPod
So your home from work, how was your day Mike my honey? NOW, lets talk about that 17 year old beater you make me drive!
Heh, wonder what she'd say about my 27 year old Olds. This brings to mind the wall of frying pans my grandmother has in the foyer, probably a dozen. Though she has nothing against old cars, up until recently she had a '79 Mercedes 240D that had over a half million miles on it and ran strong, wouldn't get out of the way of it's own smoke but it ran reliably and strongly. Let's see a modern car do that. Also, once you get up into the 2000's, things where made in Mexico, not the US, take the Avalanche, assembled south of the border.
Apparantly a lot of wives don't look at this forum or there'd be a lot of frying pan casulties!:banghead3: As for me, I type in very small font and zoom way out if my wife gets near a thread like this.
I've been very lucky. Another month and I've served 56 years hard labor. She's a car guy, a camper, a hiker, a biker, a good cook, and she brought me lots of meals to the garage. She's even found a car or two and begged me to buy them plus she seems to get better deals than me at swap meets. And most of all she hates computers!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
